I write my words
to paint a picture,
one of hope,
of love.
I’d awaken passion,
if only I could.
We could walk on beaches,
listen to ocean’s roar,
dedicating that moment
to the rest of our lives.
I’d dry your tears,
write your pain,
your suffering
into the depths
of the sea.
My pen draws pictures
of swirling lines,
surrounding us,
holding us close
in each other’s arms.
I pray my inkwell
never runs dry,
my quill flying across
pages of love.
I pray my words
comfort you,
warm you
and fill you
with pictures of us.
Together always.

For today's prompt, we were given a bunch of quotes from different writers / poets / famous people. I chose a line from Leonardo da Vinci. There is so much more I could have written in this piece, but I chose to keep it simple. Please enjoy.

“Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.”
